This role isn't for everyone. Check before you apply.

Apply if all of these are true

  • You've written long-form YouTube scripts with results: retention, views or channel growth.
  • You can adapt your tone to different channels and niches.
  • You research a topic deeply on your own.
  • You know YouTube structure: hooks, pattern interrupts, pacing and natural CTAs.
  • Your English writing is native or near-native.

Don't apply if any of these is true

  • Your scripts read like blog posts instead of spoken video.
  • You need a lot of back-and-forth to understand a brief.
  • Your drafts usually need structural rewrites, not light edits.
  • You don't have a track record writing for YouTube.
  • You miss deadlines without warning.

If you meet all of the above, keep reading.

The role

What you'll actually do.

Viral Bangers is a done-for-you YouTube agency for experts and personal brands who sell high-ticket offers. We plan, script, edit and publish long-form videos, and turn them into short-form content. The team is small, fully remote and works to a high bar. Scripts are the foundation of everything we produce. We're not looking for someone to fill a word count. We want someone who understands why people watch a video from start to finish, and writes to make that happen.

Responsibilities

  • Write long-form scripts from briefs in ClickUp, following each channel's tone, format and style guide.
  • Research every topic so the script is accurate, relevant and engaging.
  • Write hooks that grab attention in the first 30 seconds.
  • Apply feedback from the Creative Director or Operations Lead and deliver clean final drafts.
  • Follow the format, length and structure set for each client.
  • Deliver on the dates in ClickUp and flag any risk before the deadline.
  • Follow our scriptwriting guidelines in Notion.
Requirements

What you need to have.

  • Proven long-form YouTube scriptwriting, with published examples.
  • Strong research and storytelling skills.
  • Clean, revision-light drafts.
  • Comfort with ClickUp, Slack, Google Docs and Notion.

What we look for

  • You check your own work before you send it.
  • You ask early when a brief isn't clear.
  • You can hold several channels' voices at once.
  • You write for the ear, not the page.
